The centre-right also conquers Cagliari and Alghero and passes the first electoral test four months after the election of the new regional council led by Christian Solinas (Lega) despite the fact that the electoral campaign in recent days has been monopolized by the news of the proposal, later denied, by the regional council on the reintroduction of annuities .
A Cagliari, the center-right candidate for mayor, Paolo Truzzu, won the victory, having obtained 50,19% of the preferences. The center-left candidate, Francesca Ghirra, stops at 47,47%, but she has decided to ask for a re-count: “There are eighty votes for the run-off. Prudence is needed to assess what will happen in the next few days: there are one thousand three hundred invalid ballots and over twenty contested ones". The gap between the two, numbers in hand, is very small: 33.933 votes against 33.351.
"Those who arrive from Sardinia are unfortunately not encouraging results on which we must reflect", comments the secretary of the Democratic Party, Nicola Zingaretti.
Also in Cagliari, Angelo Cremone (Lista Verdes) is in third place with 2,1% of the preferences. In the Sardinian capital, the turnout was 51,7%, just over one voter out of two, compared to a regional average of 55,3%.
